Not to be pedantic but...
Several posters have said that the three second count "resets" on a shot. I'm sure most of us know what the rule really says and will not be tripped up by this phraseology, but at least one of those posters seems new here. So....
The three second count does NOT "reset" on a shot -- it stops entirely. One of the requirements of the three second rule is team control. Team control ends on a shot. Thus the three second rule also ends with the shot. If it takes 5 or 8 or 10 seconds for somebody to secure a rebound, this is not a problem because the three second rule is not operative again until team control is established. At the point where team control is re-established, then you begin a new three second count. So it is possible for a team to shoot, miss, rebound, and do it all again many times and there is no three second violation.
